Talk:Portrayal of Asian Men in Hollywood

Hi!

I found you wiki to be very insightful and I like how you used examples of Asian characters from popular pieces of media that many people are aware of.

I agree that many stereotypes of Asian males affect the roles that Asian male actors are allowed to play. Producers want to please their audiences, which more often than not, means that the characters will feed into these stereotypes held by the audience. This in turn further reinforces these stereotypes of Asian men being less masculine than white men.

You may want to proofread your article as there are a few grammatical and spelling errors. The opening sentence should be "...American entertainment industry *since* the 19th century" and the word "protagonist" is misspelled in the "Notable Characters" section.

I totally agree with you about the standard of sexiness in the Western culture is very different to Asia. Most of the characters you see in Hollywood movies are humorous characters or computer geeks. However, I believe there is a positive change in the film and tv series production where Asian man is picking up more dominant roles. For example, Lee Byung-Hun is one of the main fighters in the movie G.I.Joe, and Ross Butler in the T.V series 13 Reasons Why was one of the lovers of Hanna Baker.
